Hi- I started rebuilding the entire thing from scratch, as you suggested,
but the number of files being indexed is still about 25% less than the
total. I've already checked both the "resource hogs" list and the
blacklist, but there are no entries in either one. Is there any way I can
find out which files are not being indexed and the reason for each one?
Thanks.
